Request a Personalized Reading List

At DPL we love connecting people with books they’ll enjoy. Just fill out this form and a librarian will email you a personalized reading list of four to five titles. We’ll include a summary of each book, the reason we thought you might like it, and a link to the online catalog where you can get more information about the book, check its availability, place hold requests or add it to your reading list.

Complete as much or as little of this form as you like, but the more information you provide, the better the recommendations we can give you. As always, we value your privacy and will keep your answers strictly confidential. Your list will arrive within approximately one week.
